[PHOTO] Pelicans coming in to land
I had been trying to get the fella on the water in the sunset shots but
was losing light. I was about to take the flash off and noticed these two coming in to land. I got a couple of shots but the flash only fired on this one. Not too fussed about the reflection of the flash on water on the pelican in the water but I like the action of the other two coming in to land. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...5232509&size=l |

Obviously the camera was panned to follow the birds landing, and the foreground bird is swimming the other way; a slow shutter speed because of the low light despite flash being used. If you are a photographer you should know this. Colin D. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

You, 'the one' are new on this group, aren't you? So far your posts have been rude, aggressive, and downright profane for no good reason. There's more than enough of your kind inhabiting these newsgroups, hiding behind made-up names and posting from nowhere (you think) and we don't need another one. Shape up, be considerate and reasonable, helpful even, and if you can't do that, then ship out. Colin D. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

After cropping out that one bird in the foreground, I would say its a great shot. I had fought trying to get a couple of shots of these magnificent birds last summer. Couldn't get a good shot in, also the timing and lighting wouldn't cooperate for me, LOL and I didn't have a lot of time to spend hunting them. Not4wood |

The effect on the foreground bird is just too surreal and that part looks just like what it is - a motion- blurred pelican with a frozen flashlit component... Crop it off and it looks much better, imo. The rest of the shot is great - and it looks as if the flash hasn't provided much (any?) illumination to the two other birds, which have been kept sharp quite nicely by the panning. Just curious, what shutter speed was it - I'm guessing about 1/100 or thereabouts? |

Yes the other 2 are sharp. |

Thanks for replying Mark, The One and Not4wood As I said when i posted it I wasn't keen on the water refelction on the pelican in the water. I will crop it out and see how it looks. It was actually just something different to post after a night of playing with pano's and HDR. Mark settings are Exposu 0.017 sec (1/60) Apertu f/5.6 Focal Length: 55 mm ISO Speed: 100 Thanks, Fr... (O: It's a nice effect, and one I hadn't thought of trying -it's alway nice to come up with something different so as to avoid the NABS syndrome. (Not Another Bloody Sunset) |
